[old doc.lw link]: https://doc.lucidworks.com/fusion/5.9/217

This stage runs a JavaScript transformation on documents using a script from the [blob store](/docs/5/fusion/getting-data-in/blob-storage). The script must have the blob type `file:js-index`.

<LwTemplate />

## Uploading a JavaScript blob

In Fusion 5.9, JavaScript blobs must be uploaded using the [Blob Store API](/api-reference/blobs/get-blob-store-service-status), like this:

```bash wrap  theme={"dark"}
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: text/javascript' --data-binary @index-pipeline-js-stage.js http://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/api/apps/APP_NAME/blobs/index-pipeline-js-stage.js?resourceType=file:js-index
```

Open the [blob manager](/docs/5/fusion/getting-data-in/blob-storage) to verify that the new blob is present:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lucidworks/qCaM85k6rX7hs1DP/assets/images/4.1/known-issue-APOLLO-15672-index.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qCaM85k6rX7hs1DP&q=85&s=23a4be4a1a7b30ad442d6cd53ee54ded" alt="Uploaded JavaScript blob in the blob manager" width="614" height="600" data-path="assets/images/4.1/known-issue-APOLLO-15672-index.png" />

## Referencing a JavaScript blob

Use any of the following formats for the `ref`/**Script Reference** configuration field:

```sh wrap  theme={"dark"}
index-pipeline-js-stage.js
```

```sh wrap  theme={"dark"}
blob:index-pipeline-js-stage.js
```

```sh wrap  theme={"dark"}
urn:x-fusion:blob:index-pipeline-js-stage.js
```

<Note>
  The examples above use `index-pipeline-js-stage.js` as the blob ID.
</Note>

## Edit JavaScript

For Fusion 5.4.x and later, select **Edit** in the **Script Reference** field to edit JavaScript directly in the Fusion UI.

## JavaScript examples

<Note>
  When reusing a script in both Managed JavaScript index stages and Managed JavaScript query stages, you need to upload it twice: once as a `file:js-index` blob and once as a `file:js-query` blob.
</Note>

### Set up a reusable library

This is an example of a reusable JavaScript library that provides various utility functions for string processing, date handling, and type conversion.
To reuse Javascript functions, create a stage like this one that defines them, then place it *before* any of the stages that use it.

```js wrap  theme={"dark"}
/* globals Java, logger*/
//JavaScript (ES5.1)
/**
 * UtilitiesDemoLib - A stripped-down demo utility library for Fusion Pipeline scripts
 *
 * Contains essential utility functions for demonstration purposes:
 * - Debug logging
 * - Type checking
 * - String manipulation

## Configuration

<Tip>
  When entering configuration values in the UI, use *unescaped* characters, such as `\t` for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use *escaped* characters, such as `\\t` for the tab character.
</Tip>

<SchemaParamFields schema={schema} />
